Big Bang for a Few Bucks
Our TT has a large window above the head of the bed. It's a silly place for it because the night shade is always pulled down. But I guess it might be required as a fire exit even though there is an exit door in the bedroom. The last few nights have dipped into the 30s here in the Phoenix area and cold air poured down on our heads.
On top of that our toilet is in its own small room. The furnace is on the other side of one wall. Jayco put a 4" round vent from the furnace into that room where a ton of $$ heat went straight up and through the exhaust fan's thin cover.
Both problems were solved in a short time with a piece of rigid insulation I picked up at Lowe's for half price because it was damaged. It only took a few minutes to measure, cut and fit a piece over the window. It fits under the day shade when it's pulled down, so it isn't too noticeable. It's on the north side of the camper so I won't have to worry about the sun damaging the double pane glass.
The exhaust fan was too shallow to use a regular vent blanket, but a carefully cut piece of the insulation fits snugly in the opening. The improvement was everything I'd hoped it would be. The savings on LP should pay for the cost of the board by the time we head back north. In the meantime, no more cold heads.
